I have an idea how to do it but I don’t think I’m right.
I just tried to write on Eddy Curry’s Twitter page and typed this under “What are you doing” on the front page
“@eddycurry How those doughnuts treatin ya?”
His twitter name is eddycurry so is that right even though I don’t see it under his page and on mine?
